Trick Or Treat With The ODD GIRLS!

We’d like to welcome you to Some Odd Girl‘s 2nd annual Trick or Treat Halloween Hop!

Thank you so much for joining us! All of the Odd Girls
have concocted a creepy little creation to inspire you today, and
you’re invited to visit each blog to see what’s been brewing! You
might have arrived from The Some Odd Girl’s blog – if so,
you’re on the right track! If not, you’ll want to CLICK HERE to get
things started, because you won’t want to miss a thing!

We’ll be sharing some of these pretties are the Some Odd Girl blog over the next few days, but TODAY, we kick things off! So you might be wondering what this Trick or Treat
stuff is all about, yeah? Well, in addition to amazing papercrafty
goodness you’ll see at each stop, you’ll get tricks along the way, too!
Simple tips and tricks to little secrets we papercrafters have figured
out that we want to share with you! That covers the Tricks.

And then there are TREATS!

Made a cute Halloween decoration with digi stamp "Witchy Mae". Need some bling for project but you only have clear rhinestones on hand? With Copic markers you can now have any color rhinestone imaginable. If you want the color to be richer, wait for the ink to dry and add another layer of color.

As you hop, you’ll come across some Treats, located at random Odd Girls‘ blogs. We have some clear stamps, some Odds & Ends, some digi stamps and lots and lots of inspiration for you! AND, as if that wasn’t exciting already, we have a discount code for you!

Be sure to leave a comment at each stop, and if YOU have any tricks
you’d like to share, we’d love to hear them! There might just be a
prize in it for one commenter who leaves us a trick! Okay. So have you
got all that? Are you ready? Well allllll righty! LET’S HOP!
Here’s your hop order:

And there you have it! We will hop now through October 31st at midnight Eastern, and our winners will be announced back here on the Some Odd Girl blog on Monday, November 3rd. Happy Haunting – I mean HOPPING! Your next stop is Mary Pat !

So pretty, Im not to big on scary Halloween so this would be perfect for my decor!

And thank you so much for the tip on the rhinestones, I never would have thought of it. Though I do have a trick that is a bit similar. If I'm short on funds instead of trying to purchase flowers in every color I will buy plain white flowers and then color them with my Copics to match the project that I am working on!

Just thought of a trick I wanted to share about rhinestones. If you want to make rhinestones, brads, or even enamel dots glittery or change the color if you don't have alcohol markers you can take some versa mark and ink it over the rhinestones/brads/enamel dots and then sprinkle embossing powder over them and heat set. It gives them a whole different and fun effect ;)

Cute! I pretty much stopped buying colored embellies a while ago. I also go with white or clear (usually cheaper, too) and then color with my alcohol markers. Even ribbon I've pretty much limited to white.

Love the purple bow and ribbon in the corner. Also love your coloring. I make my own glue dots using Aleen's Tack It Over & Over. Place drops (whatever size you'd like) on a sheet of wax paper. Let dry to tacky. Never run out of dots again.
